Well for a start you got an Alienware laptop so should probably send it back ;) jk

Interesting one... Is it set to power saver mode when the charger is unplugged from the laptop as it may limit hardware performance.

Don't have a clue about Alienware laptops, not sure if they limit speeds when the battery is low or unplugged. Whether is needs a certain amount of power pass through I'm not sure but give it a go as mentioned above.

Yeah nice one buddy, if it's a brand new machine, it may be worth asking Dell I'd imagine you'll have some sort of support package with such an expensive machine.

But yeah, let us know
